Yes, but flashing is risky.
Firmware can be divided into two broad categories:
One is the firmware developed by the router manufacturer for the router, and the manufacturer's R&D department will release the firmware update of the device from time to time, and users can visit the manufacturer's official website** to get the update;
The second type is collectively referred to as third-party firmware, and the more well-known ones are OpenWrt and Tomato, which can be updated to multi-brand and multi-model routers. However, it is important to note that third-party firmware does not support all routers, and you can log in to these firmware developments** to see the list of supported device models.

Yes, the router flashes the firmware method (take tp-link as an example):
1. Open the browser, enter the IP address of the router) press Enter, enter the router account and password, and click to log in (see the label or manual on the router box).
2. After entering the router management interface, check the current hardware version of the router in the running status.
7. Select "System Tools" - Software Upgrade", click the browse button on the right interface, select the firmware file that has been decompressed just now, and click "Upgrade".
8. Point determination.

All routers can flash firmware from time to time, first of all, you must know that installing firmware on the router is not a thing to do for the sake of coolness, but really to make the router better, choosing a suitable firmware can ensure the absolute stability of the network situation, you can get rid of the interference problem in the complex network environment, an open source firmware can enable you to have all the permissions, and even completely solve the problem of signal dead spots in the house. In addition, in terms of security, because the open-source firmware update speed is much greater than the manufacturer's original firmware, this ensures the update speed of vulnerabilities, thereby reducing network security risks.
The term "firmware" is derived from a microprogram written for use with a microprogram such as amd29xx. Later, it was used as a replacement for some of the features of a low-cost microprocessor. In practice, general hardware can improve its performance and reliability by upgrading the firmware.
The same goes for router firmware. In short, the router firmware is the operating system used for the router, and it is the operating system solidified in the router chip.

No, before flashing the firmware, you must look at the router that does not support you, and the router will become bricked if you flash the problem.
-
Some routers can flash the firmware, such as: NEWIFI, Polar Router, etc.
-
Speaking of models,Find configuration,Mainly on the CPU、Wireless chip、Switch chip、Flash memory size model,Find firmware brushes with similar configurations in the list of supported devices on the OpenWRT official website,There are no small differences (mainly the difference in the size of flash memory)You can find your own source code to modify the compilation firmware。
-
The router firmware version generally can't be brushed randomly, and there will be an error when brushed, and then reboot is the original.
-
Once you swipe other firmware, you lose your warranty, and no matter what problems occur with the router, you can only bear it yourself.
-
The router firmware can be flashed casually hahaha.
-
It depends on which model you are, the main control scheme used by different models is different, you can first determine the main control chip of your router, and then search for firmware, and you can find the corresponding firmware to brush.
-
Of course not, the first condition for flashing the firmware of other router is the same hardware solution, using the same CPU, and the flash and memory capacity are the same or larger than the machine you want to flash. For example, NI360 can directly brush Tengda's N300 or W3000R, but on the contrary, Tengda must replace it with a larger flash to flash NI360.
-
No, the hardware of each product is different, and the firmware will not be necessarily.
-
Of course not! For example, 235W and 236W, if you want to brush, you have to find a version of the firmware head in the middle to brush, and the version and the lower version can't be brushed randomly, it will be bricked. It's best to look for posts in the forum before brushing, and it's best to have bricks ready

The firmware is all routed for the BCM535X, and this series of chips has no difference except for performance improvements, so they can share a single firmware.
Tell us about my experience. It's kind of an earthwork.
Go to the route, set up the wizard, and go to the step below. >>>More
The role of the router.
One of the functions of the router is to connect different networks, and the other is to choose the route to which the information is transmitted. Choosing a smooth and fast shortcut can greatly improve the communication speed, reduce the communication load of the network system, save the network system resources, and improve the smooth rate of the network system, so that the network system can play a greater role. From the point of view of filtering network traffic, routers function very similarly to switches and bridges. >>>More
Yes, the router can only be used as a hub, don't use the WAN port, just plug it into other ports. Also, the router cannot be configured with DHCP, otherwise it may cause IP address conflicts. In other words, the router doesn't need to be equipped with anything, just use it as a hub.
If your connection is correct, type : in the address bar to enter the settings page (if you can't enter the settings page, you can consider resetting the router in a powered-on state first), follow the setup wizard all the way to set up, the key step is to copy the MAC address. >>>More
